Chamber of Commerce..

There was large attendance of buyers,
but trading was not active at first though
sellers were doing their utmost to dispose of
the enormous offerings without cutting
prices too much. The range of samples was
lower and buyers. were largely in control of
the situation. Receipts since Saturday were
SO2 cars and shipments 134. Duluth stocks
increased 215, 225 blu during the past week
and local stocks are 504, 0S9 blu larger. The

. Flour-The steady strength developed IN
the wheat market is felt in its kindred flour
market Whether any real advance is to be
gained in the latter depends upon the out
come of the former. There has seldom been
q sharper inquiry for wheat in the Northwest
for t1our making than is now in existence.
The deplorable emoraliZation in the wheat
option trade, caused by the unfortunate at
tempts of the past summer, almost led peo-
pie to forget that there is legitimate use for
wheat. or any. use for it other than to fill
short sales with. In spite of it the demand
for cash wheat is something remarkable, and
the cash trade in wheat and the trade in
Hour are on strong and apparently health
full basis. Foreign demand is increasing, and
promises full flow for the season.
